"It is testament to Liverpool ’s history and status that we are not lacking in truly great individuals, whose names could easily grace a stand at Anfield," said Liverpool's principal owner John W Henry.

"But in Kenny Dalglish we have a person who carries such immense significance to the fabric of this club, so it feels somewhat incumbent on us to recognise this in a manner that is befitting to the man.

The signs have gone up on the Centenary Stand at Anfield Stadium to name it after Kenny Dalglish.

"He is unique, not just to Liverpool, but to the game in England as a whole, having achieved greatness as a player and then enjoyed such success as a manager. His record and trophies won on both fronts speak for themselves.

"His name is synonymous with our club, with our home and the city of Liverpool. Now it will be as visible as it is palpable."

Some fans have raised concerns about the timing with fierce rivals United set to roll into Anfield next Saturday, but most are in agreement that the honour is well deserved for the iconic Dalglish.
